  1. Looking forward to this: BBC Radio 3 adaptation of Ayckbourn's underrated sci-fi play, Henceforward bbc.in/KWlrK1
  2. I do love that War Horse puppet-cum-costume.
  3. Lots of soggy people on the Tube, with ponchos and union jack hats. Trains reportedly overcrowded. Yet they all seem v happy! #britishness
  4. @urchinette she wrote an entire book about a dog - 'Flush'.
  5. Oh, is that top bellringer and slight namesake Dickon Love on the Barrowman boat? Nice chap!
  6. (sees weather forecast) definitely NOT linen suit weather for the rest of the weekend, then.
  7. Linen suit look resulted in being compared today to, diversely, Lee Marvin and David Byrne.
  8. Jokey sign for Prometheus outside Islington Screen On The Green (where I saw it today): flic.kr/p/ca1Ae5 via @adambowie
  9. @iamjamesward lol
  10. Oops, he spells it Fassbender, not Fassbinder. I'm thinking of Rainer Werner.
  11. As well as Fassbinder, Prometheus has another brilliant actor from an Andrea Arnold flick: Kate 'Red Road' Dickie. But she's so underused.
  12. But yes, Fassbinder is superb. What can't he do?
  13. It's actually hard to do a spoiler for Prometheus because, er, (spoiler!) there's not much more to it than the trailer.
  14. Also: Guy Pearce has that unconvincing Old Man make-up only used when actor also appears as a younger version. Next film, then?
  15. Saw #Prometheus. Doesn't quite earn the right to be a 2hr trailer for the NEXT film, but the visuals are stunning. Love Fassbinder's hair.
  16. @TimeOutFilm please can you update your film listings to distinguish 2D from 3D screenings? Ta.
